A workshop for the memes of production.
Submit new emoji here.
A good submission is:
- Visually clear at a small size (120 pixel width) [This does not mean upload the small image, this means upload the source image or full size cutout but test prior.]
- Have a transparent background to the greatest degree possible. This online tool can remove many backgrounds.
- Display a clear emotion or purpose
- If including text, should be properly sized to be readable
- "Evergreen" and not something that will be irrelevant after the next news cycle
- Formatted in PNG, GIF, or SVG to make our file optimization cycles easier. If svg initially, send svg in a seperately hosted link to WhyEssEff. Same with gif, as we render them as mp4 IIRC.
- Have proposed title as the title of the post, nothing more, nothing less.
- Post body should include a suggested category and keywords.
- Max height of 3 times the width.
Rules:
- No reactionary or reactionary-adjacent expressions. The purpose of an image is what it expresses. Some clear examples for this rule:
- Allowed: Broken fasces, burning stars-and-bars, rotated Mussolini
- Disallowed: Body-shaming, Pepes, gay-shaming the enemy (e.g. those pictures of Putin and Trump that libs love to post), certain hateful wojaks (even if recontextualized)
- If you think you have touched on a grey area, see rule 7 for how to litigate this.
- ~~Nothing Vaush-related is allowed~~
- To be honest, I broke this rule, so it's pretty much moot. Just run it by me first in DMs or matrix. Vaush is a bit of a dead horse, so to speak, so they're still generally discouraged. The qualification for a viable emote referencing his existence is more a matter of execution

- No desecration of religious imagery.
- This rule does not extend to the subordinate representations of religious symbolism present within the flags and/or iconography of nations, political parties, or militant groups.
- Nothing sexually explicit or overtly horny is allowed
- :hentai-free:
- No sectarianism in submissions. Pro-tendency content is fine, but we will not accept content degrading specific tendencies.
- No gore, no SA, no sui-bait. Nothing that could reasonably trigger a comrade.
- If you think you're touching on a grey area with a submission, message @whyesseff:matrix.org to clear it before you post.
- DISCLAIMER: Clearing does not necessarily mean that I'll add it, just that it's alright to submit and the rules will not be the barrier to its addition

MODERATORS
Generally I encourage standardisation of keywords as we've already seen with their classification in the emoji picker. There can also be silly keywords, but there should also be broad general ones for the emoji.
"yes" "approval" for all the different thimbs,-up/yes-chads.
"Bewilderment" "wtf am I reading?" And "what" for all the variations of
and 
"Threat" for the emoji that indicate me going to them, emoji like,

All animal emoji should have "animal".
All pointing should have "point".
All esoteric emoji should have "strange name" or just "strange" so you can find it even though the name is fucked.
All in the style of
should have "classic emoji".
"Terminally online" for emoji like
and similar things that require you spend a long time online to understand.
"Iceberg" for things like

Emoji like
and
should all both have their respective tv-show as a keyword, and just a general keyword that is "TV".
There should be a general tag for all the "meme" characters like
it could be "rage-comic" (shoutout to the boomers on the site) or "wojack"
Politicians should have "politician" and then, preferably, their country of influence (IE
would be "politician, us" and
would be "politician, china")
Every emoji I've contributed should be tagged with "made by the one true leftist, you should venmo them some cash (you can dm them for info it's Egon)"
Unironically though I do think it would be cool if we started tagging emoji with who contributed it - Though of course a lot of them can no longer be remembered, and most of them is just "WhyEssEff" but still, could be cool
Terminally-Online as a tag for all the super obscure stuff is a wonderful idea
